No, maybe your tensioner is bad. Shouldn't have any in and out play. If it's ok, check your idler pully and the rest. I think alternator bearings are a routine problem on these also.

Jeez, I leave you guys alone for one single day and the whole place falls apart. Dress 'em up, send 'em to school and what do they do? Eat the teacher!

Had a good lunch today... all you can eat prime rib buffet for $7.98. Needless to say, we were late getting home!

I was getting my beauty sleep, and it worked. What's your excuse??? Hmmmm??? I don't blame you for running late. A deal like that is hard to pass up.

Evening all!

Been busy last week or so. I've had family in town and they are finally gone so I have my house (and vehicles) back to myself. My truck survived the trip to the ocean with my brother. Thankfully.....

Just recertified as a Shotgun instructor for the Department yesterday. 7 years in a row now. It's a fun class to take. Getting paid to shoot and I don't even have to buy ammo.

I'll burn a pot for the night.

Ucello's, Caledonia MI, right at the corner of M37 & 84th Street. It's a privately owned family restaurant, not a chain.

Yeah, here's a thought; Why can't they do all that to more people?

We saw quite a few SP units all over the place the last couple of days. Good to see, it's just too bad they don't have the gas money to actually go after anyone!

THey have it every Friday, noon to 10 PM. Lots of other good stuff at the buffet bar too.

Alright everyone, I'm back! Here's your history;
On this day in 1847 - New York and Boston were linked by telegraph wires.

1893 - The New York stock market crashed. By the end of the year 600 banks and 74 railroads had gone out of business.

1918 - Two German pilots were saved by parachutes for the first time.

1927 - The U.S. Marines adopted the English bulldog as their mascot.

1931 - Igor Sikorsky filed U.S. Patent 1,994,488, which marked the breakthrough in helicopter technology.

1942 - The FBI announced the capture of eight **** saboteurs who had been put ashore from a submarine on New York's Long Island.

1944 - During World War II, American forces completed their capture of the French port of Cherbourg from the German army.

1950 - Two days after North Korea invaded South Korea, U.S. President Truman ordered the Air Force and Navy into the Korean conflict. The United Nations Security Council had asked for member nations to help South Korea repel an invasion from the North.

1955 - The state of Illinois enacted the first automobile seat belt legislation.

Hot on the left, cold on the right and the (stuff) runs down hill. There, in keeping with his tradition of telling the equally informed where they can go (for assistance) you have received the Chaikwa rapid application of plumbing basics course, also known as CRAP. This really shouldn't be a surprise because he's always giving us crap around here.
